Bridging The Gap

Do you have a missing tooth? Let Prestige Dentistry fill the gap for you and help you get your dazzling smile back! A dental bridge could be the perfect solution for your missing tooth and help you chew and speak properly.

A bridge consists of two or more crowns on either side of the gap created by your missing tooth. These two anchoring teeth allow a false tooth to be held in place where the missing tooth should be. The false tooth that is placed in the gap is called a pontic. Bridges can contain one or more pontics. A pontic can be matched to the surrounding teeth if you elect a porcelain material. If you’d like, a pontic can also be created using gold or an alloy.

We will work closely with you to be certain that your bridge has a perfect fit. Then one of our experienced hygienists will show you how to clean under and around the bridge to ensure that no dental caries occurs in the nooks and crannies.

Come see us at Prestige Dentistry to bridge the gap and love your smile again!
